an article in this mornings Journal
from here. in relation to the three men who
were tried, onvcted and sentenced at our last
last term Of court, for robbing luck Deputy
of So, 900. The tone of the article appears to
give strength to the idea that innocent men may
have been convicted and that the guilty ones
now about to be arrested.
The convicted men were recognized positively
by Deputy. One of them had eaten dinner at his
house two days before the robbery and had spent
some three hours with him two
days before the robbery. negotiating for the
purchase of his farm, made appointment to
return the day of the robbery and bring his
father-in law with him to complete the trade.
This and the faJherin-law came and spent
some two or more hours with him that day be-
fore they got his money. The woman who pre-
pared the dinner and waited on the man at the
dinner-table on the first day, identified him pos
itively. The two stable keepers at North Yer
non, where they got their horses and buggies,
identify them positively. Other witnesses who
saw and talked with them along the road, iden-
tfy them positively. Before, and during the
size talk, among a certain class. that the wrong
men had been arrested. These knowing ones,
however. gave no information who the right
men were or where they were
The trial lasted five days. They were de-
Tended ably by Jason B. Brown. A. G. Smith
and Frank Brannaman. These men have
nocent clients. They did ali for them that law
yers can fairly do for their clients. There is
danger of innocent men being convicted under
their defense Some Of these lawyers even
snatch guilty clients away from justice. as Sim
Coy and his tally sheet artists can testify. The
jury were satisfied of the guilt of these defend
ants. The courr patiently and carefully heard
the trial, and refused new trial. The great
mass of our community satisfied with their
conviction. except that thew generally say their
sentence too light.
This talk about mysterious big man, and
arresrng other men, and claiming they are the
real guilty robbers, after the trial and convic-
ton. is pretty thin, and is tardy effort to
5nsnufacture a sympathy for the convicted men
false basis, and in that way reach the
kind heart of Governor Gray and get a pardon
from him. The Supreme Court is the only
proper place for them to go for relief. If the
evidence is not sufficient to sustain a conviction,
the Supreme Court will promptly apply the
remedy. I would not have troubled you with
this article, except for the article in your paper
and in the Cincinnati Enquirer and other
papers, all ten ding to build up opinion in the
public mind that innocent men have been con-
victed. Such is not the case.
When those men go out Of prison before the
expiration of their time. it will be better to
leave the prison doors open, so that all the pris-
oners may follow them out whenever they
choose to do so.
